Research topicDrug-resistance prediction in tuberculosis
CurrentlyICMR-funded collaborative AI/ML project for drug-resistance modelling and precision diagnosis of tuberculosis (JNU & Sharda University).
Education and Previous affiliationM.Sc. Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases & Antimicrobial Resistance, University of Glasgow
B.Sc. Biotechnology, SRM University
Research interests: Transcriptomics, pathogen evolution, drug resistance, drug discovery, epidemiology.
I focus on predicting drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by integrating whole-genome sequencing, epidemiological and transcriptomic data across Indian and global regions. I have previously worked on transcriptomic analysis of bovine tuberculosis in badgers, and explored in-silico vaccine design, molecular docking, structure-based drug optimization, protein modelling and molecular dynamics simulations for SARS-CoV-2 inhibition, presenting at the International Symposium of Bioinformatics (DU) and the National Biomedical Research Competition (AIIMS, Delhi), receiving an Appreciation Award.
